‘chirp’ from left side when going over bumps

[Mrklaw]

Had my car for a couple of months. Only started doing this a few days ago. Going over a fairly rough road, whenever it was a biggish bump (not like a massive pothole but enough to notice it), there was a ’chirp’ kind of sound from the left side of the car, roughly around the front passenger door area but difficult to localise.

Anyone had anything like that? I’ve had it a few times since and I might need to try and record it somehow eg with phone on the passenger seat or something in case needs reporting to service team

I’ve got a similar noise coming from the driver side front pillar between windscreen and side window. At first I thought it was a speaker playing up, but I’ve managed to locate the source as coming from the pillar cover. The movement while driving causes it. If I press it relatively hard the same noise occurs. I’d recommend you just try pressing the various parts and see if you can replicate the sound.

I’ve started noticing the same from the right hand side rear wheel when going over speed bumps or road irregularities… suspension, maybe?
Annoying but not sure it’s enough for a SC visit…

I too hear some scraping noise, but I wonder if it is the mud-flaps scraping the ground.
